There is a lot of useful advice in here about teaching anything at all. Coaches use these strategies a lot too.

I really valued twitter for the ability of an individual person or groups of people to share their experiences of world events happening in real time. This is less about following individual people and more about being able to get meaningful analytics out of the mass of posts in order to spotlight “things” – a political movement, an earthquake, a lawyer who cant turn off zoom filters – whatever. But, it did always have a lot of noise. I usually ended up there when somebody linked to a post.

Can you give more I go on what you think will happen instead? I don’t doubt it’s naive, but it was my first impression. However, trying to extend skepticism to this, I guess the scenario is that threads federates, uses existing community to grow, becomes significantly larger, then starts creating proprietary protocols to draw users to its own app then enshittifies it.

I need a degoogle wiki to all me through all the things I can do to degoogle and what conveniences I might loose and potential workarounds for them. E.g. I spent a few hours getting rid of chrome, but then found out that if I want to use maps from my home screen, I can’t use the search bar and I need another button on my homescreen. Also, apparently I use the images tab on Google often, and ddg doesn’t have an images filter.

So anyway, without good replacements for my typical workflow, I end up just adding inconvenience and still falling back on the old workflows when I can’t figure out how to get what I need degoogled.

Somebody asked chat GPT to appear to be a normal internet user to populate the comments section to manufacture content for normal Internet users to respond to so that they can continue building up their training models.

Cool! Very good to know

I started with this, but I have trained myself to use the search bar at the bottom of the home page as the beginning so often. That automatically opens Chrome regardless, unless you switch launcher.

Ty for shift+right click suggestion

I was able to long press the link and open in chrome to get it on the web. However, I got this email a few weeks ago, and tried to opt out, and got distracted. It took this post pointing gout that it’s not in the app for me to get it done! This is outrageous.

Thanks for asking this question. I learned some things I didn’t know I needed. I have a 6a, and I use a phone strap I found on Amazon. It’s like a rubber band that stretches vertically around the back of the phone case from the camera opening to the charging opening. I got this because when I rest it on my pinky, it hurts. But, I noticed since, that I can do more one handed because my anchor is in the middle instead of the bottom. I tried a few phone grip ideas before I landed here, and learned som things. I can’t stand pop sockets, because the phone doesn’t lay flat anymore. Also, you can prop it up in landscape, but not portrait (at least for the one I had). The rings that stick to the back are also a no-go. They hurt my finger when the weight of the phone is all resting just on the ring. The strap I landed with is removable, reusable, no adhesives, the phone lays flat still, and is comfortable to hold the weight of the phone.
